Tor took his new golf club set to Mint Valley to play 9 holes with Dad and cousin Cale. Unfortunately for us, it rained the whole time, so we were soaked by the end, but we did have a big highlight. Tor scored his first birdie on a regulation-sized course - the 143-yard no. 4 par 3, and over water, too. His tee shot with a 6-iron landed within 3 inches of the hole:
Jillian ran her longer distances at the home meet against Columbia River and Hockinson, competing in the 4x200 meter relay, the 400 meters, and the 4x400 meter relay. She set a personal record in the 400 meters at 1:03.85, placing second.
The pic and video are from her first 200 meter leg of the relay:
It was a cold and windy one at the stadium, so getting a PR was quite an accomplishment.
Bridget spent the past weekend with her Cowlitz 16-1 Black team at the March Mania Volleyball Tournament at the Clark County Event Center. They had a lot of success, winning every set on Saturday, and dropping only one match on Sunday, before falling to the eventual champion Idaho Crush on Monday.
Bridget anchored the middle with hitting and blocking, and helping the team’s consistency with her all-around play:
Little Cousin Grant had his dedication at the Castle Rock Christian Church this morning. He did really well for the entire service, but then wasn’t too happy at the end when we tried to get a photo with the kids:
The little Johnson girls hung out with us during the service:
This was actually Bridget’s second time driving to Castle Rock, taking the back roads. We are steadily working on her 50 driving hours. She’s done with her Aloha online driving classes .. she just has a few more practice drives to do.
Tor played his viola with the Monticello Advanced Orchestra at the All-City Orchestra Concert at RA Long.
They played two songs, and the violas had featured prominently in the first one:
Tor invited his friend and teammate Bowen (“Bobo”) to join he and Uncle Dan and Aunt Robin at the Portland Moda Center to watch Session 1 of the First Round NCAA Basketball Tournament West Regional.
They were fortunate enough to see an upset, as the #12 seed High Point beat the #5 seed Wisconsin by 1 point in a thriller. The second game was a wipeout with Arkansas beating Hawaii.
If you look closely, you can see Tor and Bowen on the Jumbotron:
Uncle Dan and Aunt Robin treated the boys with some swag, including a souvenir basketball, t-shirt and program, along with lunch. They also joined the family March Madness bracket. They returned from the game grateful to have gone, and fired up that they got to be part of upset history.
